The University of Kansas Libraries have a collection of his papers. He took over William Prettyman's studio and eventually published an album of his and Prettyman's work. Some of Cornish's photographs were published along with the work of Thomas Croft (photographer) in the Arkansas City Illustrated. Cornish left his studio business to his assistant Edith Berroth (1895 - 1989) who carried on the business. Berroth was an assistant from 1912 until his death and operated the studio until her retirement in 1969. Berroth sold the building to World War II veteran and part owner of the studio Michael M. Marotta on April 25, 1969. Marotta eventually sold the studio building to Otis Morrow and it is now occupied by law offices.
